THE PEOPLES MAN!
Still in the Ring.

I entered the mercantile deld in Hope in the fall of 1881. l have, as many of you know, been thorn in the flesh of other merchants. My prices have had them con stantly fretting and pulling at me. With all their pulling and talk, l am here and selling my share, and as they think, more than my share, of the goods.
 I have been the direct cause of many big reductions in prices. l am the man that caused the Coal Oil War. 1 am the man that caused the great cut m Hardware. am the man that cut credit prl- ces. 1 am the man that owns the store now being run by Mir. Thom. as Boyett, the old warehouse man, who has gained such a repu- tation for honest weights at his warehouse. All people who sell cotton at Hope know him. Now he has charge of a stock of almost all kinds of goods. ! have given him instructions to sell, and if there is l merchant in Hope who has the back. bone to meet my pri- ces; or who has the Cash to back him in meeting my prices, we will have Dry Goods War, l am ready for the fight. | have the backbone and the money to back just such a fight. All are invited to witness the slaughter and share the benefits of the contest; and in case I am outdone, or my business killed, I ask everybody attend the funeral.
 Men go to the Legislature not for the small salary allowed them, but for the good of the people and the glory. Now am going to give goods away for the good of the people and the glory. It has been said that was bound to break, that l could not sell goods on time to so many people, and at the prices do, and succeed. We'll, I have done so. l cannot afford to break. First, it would do some of my competitors too much good. Second, if cannot accommodate so many people with my own capital, can call on w.. c.

The Local Newspaper.

The late Judge David Davis. 0 Illinois, whose judgment on any important problem was seldom questioned, expressed his views as follows, regarding the value of local newspaper: Each year ev- cry local paper gives from sl00 to s5,0O0 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is To. cated. No other agency can or will do this. The focal editor. in proportion to his means. does more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness man to man. he ought to be supported. because a local paper is the best investment that community can make. It may not be brilliant or crowded with great thoughts, but financially it is more of ben eft to community than a teacher or preacher. Understand ns now, we do not mean morally or intellectually, but financially. and vet on the moral question you will find the majority of the local pa pers on the right. side of nearly all question. To-day the editors of the local papers do the most work for the least money oi any men on earth Subscribe for your local paper, not as a charity. but as an investment =. Youths Golden Hours.
 We especially commend the above to our readers. hundreds of whom We know are not subscrib. ITS. To merchants and business men 1t also applies, for we hold that yon will not only he benefited indirectly by advertising in the PlcAYrNE. but directly; build up yourselves by liberallv patronizing your county paper.

It has been our aim to let poll. ties severely alone between cam. paigns, but the continued warfare waged against democracy by the Dispatch, causes us to fire into those little disgruntle6 politicians this week. We cant take every thing-beyond certain limit, for bearance ceases to be a virtue. They are regular political cOnspir- atOrs and office seekers.
 We have new and spicy cor respondent from Delta. Would be happy to hear from "Sibyw ev. cry week. In fact, we are proud of our whole corps of correspond ents The PICAYUNE is strictly a county paper, and we want news items and personals from every post office in the county every week, and intend to have this ere long.
 We learn that the dockets for the approaching May term of our Circuit Court are small, and it is suggested that the term be short ened to one week, instead of the two, usually consumed. This would materially benefit the coun- ty, as it is badly in debt, and the only way to get out is to lessen ex- penses, as sufficient revenues are not to be had otherwise.
 Mir. s. L. Bracy, of Hope, was in Prescott Thursday, to procure marriage license, and is to be mar ried to day to Miss Nanuie Battle, of Emmet. Mir.
